Beautiful Maison De Magdalena, once the historic Hotel Du Midi, is located in the medieval village of Puisserguier, in the region of Languedoc near the Canal Du Midi at Capestang, Beziers and Narbonne. This village is one of "the circulades" and is close to the Mediterranean beaches at Narbonne Plage and Valrais Plage and historic Beziers, only 15 minutes away.
The Canal Du Midi, (a world heritage site) is 5 min away and we are in the heart of the Languedoc wine region, close to the Great Cathar Villages, such as Minerve and Capistang. A two minute walk to restaurants, bar, shopping and the historic village square.
Canal Barge trips can be arranged and tours to Carcassone and Renne La Chateau. Barcelona is a two hour drive away and the Spanish border at Perpignon and the Cote Vermillion is only an hour away.
This lovely home/villa is three stories high and has cut stone facade with traditional wrought iron balconies and has a private Bar in the back off the courtyard for parties, wine tasting and fun.

Most suites have their own bathrooms, as well as kitchen and dining amenities. This offers great flexibility for various vacation stays. All suites are furnished with antiques of the French region and Epoch for a first class vacation experience.
LOCATION
The main centre of commerce locally is the ancient roman city of Béziers. Once a Cathar stronghold. The 13th century cathedral of St-Nazaire is well worth a visit and is on the route of the sight seeing train. The main boulevard, Allée Paul-Riquet (of Canal Du Midi fame) hosts a flower market on Fridays.
The Canal du Midi is the world's oldest working canal and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by the inspirational Paul Riquet it is a marvel of French 17th Century engineering. It is still in use today and connects the Atlantic with the Mediterranean without the need to circumnavigate Spain and enter via the straits of Gibraltar. Within easy reach of Valras Plage are important features such as the Malpas tunnel, the world's first canal tunnel, and the Écluses de Fonseranes (locks). Boat trips are available from various staring points.
Being in the heart of the Languedoc, Valras Plage is a great location to sample the wines of the region. These are predominantly dry reds but for those with a slightly sweeter tooth try the Syrah Rose or even the very sweet Muscat, a local specialty.
If you wish to sample the atmosphere of different beaches there are many available - some quieter and more remote than Valras Plage itself. Try Sérignan Plage, Vendres Plage or Narbonne Plage. |
